the pension department and that he will
henceforth receive $14 per month from

sown grain will be ready to harvest in
about ten days, which is little ahead of
the usual time.
A young girl sixteen or seventeen years
old was looking on the streets last night
for rope and jig dancer, who has been a
week or so in town, and who, she claims,
has left her, taking 500 in money that
she earned at housework. She also claims

purchased and paid for wedding dress.
The girl has evidently been deceived,
and some one out of charity should inter-
est himself in the case.

pie as well as young.
